A three star apartment block on Jabavu Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The listed facilities cover parking, a pool and step-free access, and that short list is what decides it: fine if you come by car, thin if you want the city on foot.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Hurlingam Family Apartment is a three star address on Jabavu Rd in Greater Nairobi, and the facilities it lists are practical rather than decorative: free car parking and parking, lifts, wheelchair access, dry cleaning, and an outdoor pool. That is the whole of it as listed. There is no restaurant, no gym, no airport transfer and no shuttle in the facilities on file, so anything beyond a bed, a lift and a place to leave the car is on you. The apartment format is the point of the name, and self-catering is what the listing implies without spelling it out.
The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, which tells you most of what you need about Stay.Plus Hurlingam Family Apartment. This is Greater Nairobi, not the Central Business District, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Come with a car, or come for Upper Hill and the conference trade, and the location works. Come to walk out of an evening into the centre and it does not, because the centre is not around the corner. Couples and families who want space and a pool will get on with it; a solo visitor without a car will not.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

06Questions
Where exactly is Stay.Plus Hurlingam Family Apartment?+
It is on Jabavu Rd in Greater Nairobi, Kenya. It stands 3.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 41 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is also 1.8 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What facilities does the property list?+
The facilities on file are free car parking, parking, lifts, wheelchair access, dry cleaning service and an outdoor pool. There is no restaurant, gym or shuttle among them, so plan meals and transport around the apartment rather than the building.
Can I stay here without a car?+
It is possible but awkward. The street was built for the car, and after dark the area is safe and dull with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. If you want to walk to the Central Business District, this address is the wrong side of the city.
How do I check availability for Stay.Plus Hurlingam Family Apartment?+
Look it up by name on app.impt.io, where most rooms here can be cancelled free. The booking route is the app rather than a phone line, so check dates and apartment type there before you commit to the Jabavu Rd address.
